Global Gaming Awards: Grand Casino Luzern Secures its Place on the Shortlist
Each year, the pioneers of the gaming industry are named at the Global Gaming Awards. The prestigious nomination is highly coveted. Those who make it onto the shortlist can count themselves among the industry’s best for excellence in quality, innovation and trust. Grand Casino Luzern was the first Swiss casino to make it onto the shortlist for the ‘Casino’ category. But Switzerland’s success didn’t stop there: Paf, the platform partner of the Swiss online casino mycasino.ch, won first place in the ‘Responsible Gaming’ category.
3 February was the day of the gaming industry’s most important awards ceremony. A jury of more than 50 industry experts selected the casino world’s most outstanding companies at the Global Gaming Awards in London. Particularly noteworthy: Grand Casino Luzern was the first Swiss casino to secure itself a place on the coveted shortlist for the ‘Casino’ category. In addition to this, the long-established Finnish company Paf – the platform partner of the online casino mycasino.ch, operated by Grand Casino Luzern – was awarded first place in the ‘Responsible Gaming’ category for excellence in responsible gambling.
Although Grand Casino Luzern itself walked away from the awards ceremony empty-handed, CEO Wolfgang Bliem is still extremely pleased: “The Global Gaming Award is the highest distinction in the gaming industry. The fact that we were the first Swiss casino to make it onto the shortlist is a personal incentive for us to keep on increasing the quality of our services. We’re especially proud of the fact that our platform partner Paf achieved first place. Its award-winning standards for responsible gambling are also in effect in our online casino mycasino.ch, guaranteeing an exceptional level of player protection,” he said.
Only 10 casinos made it onto the shortlist for the ‘Casino’ category. These included Grand Casino Luzern and the Casinò di Venezia, officially known as the oldest casino in the world. The award was won by the renowned Casino de Monte-Carlo, which is well-known for its appearance in numerous James Bond films.
Grand Casino Luzern offers a mix between the glitzy casino scene in Monaco and the vibrant Las Vegas casino strip. Grand Casino Luzern’s mycasino.ch offers Switzerland’s largest and most innovative range of online casino games. All games are certified according to strict standards and approved by the Swiss Federal Gaming Board. Customers benefit from numerous secure payment methods such as Twint and Postfinance, in addition to an expert customer service team directly from Grand Casino Luzern.

ICONIC21 launches Football Cup-branded casino games and debut network tournament
ICONIC21 has rolled out three limited-edition Football Cup-branded casino games and launched its first network tournament, ICONIC Showdown Football Cup, running from 9th of July to 19th of July.
The new titles are Football Cup Roulette, Football Cup Blackjack 360, and Football Cup Gravity Blackjack. ICONIC21 said the releases showcase different customisation approaches, including green screen production for the roulette environment and an updated visual rebrand for its RNG blackjack table.
For Football Cup Gravity Blackjack, ICONIC21 said it used its latest LED technology and applied the Gravity Series multiplier mechanic, with a custom felt, a football gate, and bespoke 3D-printed decorations.
Alongside the three new games, ICONIC21 pointed to its previously launched slot Soccer World Championship, plus The Kickoff and Top Card, which it said received football-season branding and UI/UX updates.
The ICONIC Showdown Football Cup tournament covers 11 games in total and is positioned around the quarter finals, semi-finals and final period. ICONIC21 said 1,000 winners will share a €50,000 prize pool, and operators can enroll via their account manager or by contacting the company directly.
Edvardas Sadovskis, Chief Product Officer at ICONIC21, said:
“What I’m most proud of with this project is the turnaround. We built three fully branded, technically distinct games, enhanced existing ones with promotional branding, and launched our first-ever network tournament around them, all timed to coincide with peak player interest and traffic.
That kind of speed doesn’t happen by accident, it reflects how this team works. ICONIC Showdown is a meaningful first step for us as a provider, and launching it during the Football Cup, with this much energy around the game, feels like the right way to do it. We’re genuinely excited to see how the leaderboard shapes up and even more excited for the finals.”
